I want to make a serious proposal for all of us to consider. I’m sick of seeing so many people we elect throwing our tax dollars away. I want a litmus test for everyone running for office that they support independent audits for all legislative expenditures in excess of $10 million dollars to insure the money is spent for the purpose it was intended. Further, that all Congressional members, their staff and families are audited annually to insure there are no kickbacks or funny money contributions to their campaigns, relatives, etc.
There are far too many 1000 pg plus bills being proposed with $Bil being thrown around like pocket change. Nobody reads them yet they vote for them. This must stop. True MAGA candidates would be all in favor of cleaning things up and keeping Congress members honest and above board. Enough is enough.
We live in the 21st century. We need an app to track our govt. spending in real time, or close to real time. If we can spend $40 billion to gift to Ukraine, we can built a computer network and apps to track government spending.
Agree. A lot can be done for $40 billion. Yet, those we elect throw it around like pocket change. We demand accountability from those we entrust with our tax money. A tracking app is a good idea. We need to limit what Congress can do. They have a fiduciary responsibility to act in our best interest.
It doesn't make any sense that legislation can get passed without being read.
Getting government to watch over itself has never worked in the past.
If we had a press that actually did their jobs that would be sufficient.
So I don't think the answer is more government. It is fixing the problem of the press being in lockstep with the deep state.
That is our real problem.
What they promise is rarely what they do....I can think of only one elected official who fulfilled his promises....
Yep, they couldn't find the money to build the wall, but they can throw away ten times that amount almost weekly.
And there needs to be an end to senators and congressman traveling around the world to meet with other 'leaders.' Those people were voted into office (or were they?) by their own, local states and districts. They are meant to represent THEM. There is no reason pelosi or schiff should be traveling to ukraine on American tax paying dollars. I wouldn't trust any rep or senator who traveled outside our country to meet with foreign politicians.
Why are there parties/candidates anyhow? They exist to brainwash us with nice words, speeches and propaganda.
Elections should be made annually on content/tasks only = bills, spending, problems/solutions etc.. In every county, state and on the federal level.
These are then the tasks they have to carry out with the best personnel available = real experts for these tasks.
Then the progress and fulfillment of these tasks will be audited every three months.
Everybody who does not work or does it too slow or with failures will put out of work.
We need to stop paying taxes. No audit will work. Shit, we can’t even get elections right. Take away the funds is the only way. There has to be a way to take income taxes away from them via constitution.
I want a new party. The patriot party. Fuck Democrats and Republicans. So tired of the corruption. We need new patriots. Scap the current mafia, err I mean government and start over not in DC.
